I had to laugh at myself this morning. I was hoping for a drizzle and got much more rain than that while walking. I was hoping my thin poncho would protect me and it kinda did😂. I’m used to the rain now; I’m learning to focus on other things: praying, listening to music, counting my…

We’re Just Tired
Today was “leg day” for my sons and I. We have been home together for weeks now. We decided to make good use of our time by working out together. My youngest son, Bryant, is the current athlete in our home, so we have been deferring to him for guidance on which exercises would benefit…
What’s Keeping You Grounded?
I have been asked a few times, “KP, how are staying sane (happy, straight, calm, making it, etc.) through these trying times. My answer is simple and not simple at the same time: 1) I’m reading the Word more, along with other inspirational works. They remind me to trust my Creator and leave all my…
New Day, New Mercies
This morning's walk was absolutely awesome! Let me back up a minute. Yesterday, moo came in and told me that he saw the magnolia blossoms on a tree in our neighborhood. We discussed how that tree seemed to be full of blossoms, but the other magnolia trees had not produced as of yet. Ok, back…
Time With Him
After I threatened to dance on the porch again in front of Moo's bus and he RAN to the bus scared to death, I decided to go walking. It gave me an opportunity to get my thoughts together and "blow out the cobwebs." I found that my time with Him is like that: it can…
Your Passion
I was walking this morning and I was listening to an old favorite song of mine that I recently rediscovered, "Sooner or Later" by NERD. I walked my first lap, doing the interval thing, and was already sweating. But on the second lap, as I left my street and turned onto another one, I really…
Getting Unstuck
I woke up early this morning and heard, "Go walking, I need to talk to you about forgiveness." Later, as I was walking, I was wondering when He would speak to me on this topic, because I had already heard from Him on other things. And then I heard it, "Forgiveness has been such a…
The Lady and the Dog
It was so cold this morning, I had to put on a toboggan!!!! As usual, I awakened with an urge to go walking, so off I went. I forgot to charge my phone, so I prayed that my nike app and amazon mp3 apps would not drain all the power that was left on my…
Living in The Present
You guys know the routine -I woke up and heard "Go Walking" so that's what I did..my playlist wasn't angry today, it was more peaceful, mostly Robert Glasper and Greg Porter (Thanks Bee N'Raleigh and Wrenchel TheBroker Stokes), because I was feeling more peaceful and expectant. For some reason, I knew that I was going…
Listen and Obey
I bundled up and headed outside this am, determined to get back in the habit of walking regularly. And as usual my mind starts to race, so like a wild horse, I have to corral my thoughts back in and focus, focus on God, focus on only positive things. I begin to pray and ask…
